Motorcycles and motor scooters parking on campus must have a valid University of Kentucky parking permit and are only authorized to use designated motorcycle/motor scooter parking areas. These areas are conveniently located throughout campus and are marked by the presence of signage, green lines or both. Motorcycles and motor scooters may also park in paid metered spaces.

Motor scooters and motorcycles are not authorized to park at bicycle racks, or in any area that is not listed above.

Motorcycles and motor scooters may only enter and exit a parking structure with designated motorcycle permit parking. These vehicles must utilize gate-controlled lots or garages through the designated motorcycle lane.
